Thanks for your really helpful step-by-step video. It was super useful! Just that two of the ones I bought were a bit tough to assemble, and I had to use a hammer carefully to put the sides/panels of the square shelf together.
Glad it helped!
This tutorial explains all the steps succinctly--without a single word spoken to boot. 👍🏼
Thanks for saving me the headache of trying to figure out this contraption (talking about that leveling screw)! 😂
Thank you so much! Me and my dad were going nuts trying to figure out how to attach it all to the wall bracket!
Wtf mine did not come together as easy as this
Mind either...there's a gap in mine and I can't fix it. I just have to ignore it
Same.
same
Sameee
a mallet or a hammer + towel does the trick guys.
Thank you so much for sharing this helpful video. It wasn't until I watched it that I realized I had missed a step in selecting the #1 board to start the assembly, and consequently, my approach was always 'not quite correct.' Once I understood the mistake, the assembly process became a breeze. 👍
I'm very glad the video was helpful.
Same 😢
Thank you so much for showing how the brackets on the cabinet interface with the rail. I was having difficulty understanding how it functioned. I have five of these to install onto a brick wall so I wanted to fully understand how the cabinet mounts onto the rail before I started. Cheers!
You are welcome!
Thank you for this helpful video! i am getting mine tomorrow and hopefully it will go smoothly! 👍🏽
Thanks so much! I had to tap, ok, hammer in pieces that he just pushed in with his hand, but I got it together.
If it weren't for this video, I would've given up!
Now I'm off to the hardware store for wall anchors.
Thanks for the tutorial, it helped me assemble Eket elements 😁
Great to hear!
Este vídeo ha salvado nuestra vida ! Super profesional gracias
De nada
What size drill bit to screw into the wall?
Thanks a lot 👍🏻
Thank you for the video, how mm is the wall anchor and the drill you use please? Thx in advance
For future peeps: make sure you attach the two sides to the side with the 1 first, like in the video. Spent too much time on this doing that wrong. 😂
Yo lo estoy armando ahora mismo y necesite ayuda, es por eso q busque videos. Gracias por eso.
Y si compré todo, es obvio q se necesita algo para colgarlo. 😊. 🙏 Tusen takk.
Thank you very helpful
You're welcome!
You really helped a lot. thank you
Mine didn't come with that rail, but it's in the manual. Was this something I was supposed to buy separately? (I didn't see anything on the item tag in-store when I looked, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there)
It goes separately. There are two lengths, for a small cube the number is 003.400.47
Man thank you! I just bought it but had no idea about rail! Big thanks for the item number from ikea store!
What is the minimum distance in cm from ciel? Thank you
Thank you ! You saved my day :)
You're welcome!
Vidéo incroyable ! Merci 😊
Merci d'avoir regardé.
Man you save my life xD, thank you ❤
You're welcome
Can Ikea Kallax be installed as strong as this?
So helpful! Thank you
You're so welcome!
Do the Eket corner metal pieces for the suspension rail need to be purchased separately too? Do you have an item number for them?
Yes they do I just did that mistake 😂 i have 5 boxed in my home now
🤦🏻♀️ no wonder I was so confused! I was like my cabinet only had the cabinet in it!
Where did you get those wall anchors? I wonder why don’t they include appropriate ones, so I don’t need to guess which one to use
A hardware store and on Amazon.
@@k-nemowhat type are they?
Great tutorial, easy to follow step-by-step guide. What size wall plugs were used to hang the bracket on the wall. These doen't come with the kits so having a call out box with "8mm drill & 8mm wall plugs" (or whatever size they were) would be extreamly helpful. Thanks again.
Omg thank you,i spent so long trying to fogure out why it wouldnt line up properly 😂
Good morning, how much weight could each module with its attachments support in a solid brick wall?
How do I know were the eket shelf is going to end up
Ciao il tassello che misura hai messo?
so, do we only adjust the screw (with allen key) to align or level the cabinet? I don't quite understand its purpose, especially being that I have to take the cabinet off the wall to adjust it and then replace it (i.e. re-hang it on the wall) to confirm if the adjustment is as desired.
Level adjustment (with allen key) may be useful when you have several cabinets next to each other.
Thank yall so much! I was so confused about what the Allen key was for
Thank you for the video. I am getting one to use as a riser for the Blaliden. Does the back mounting corner brackets that were shown in this video would be good to reinforced the Eket??
@@RobChav504 I'm afraid these brackets are only for hanging.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I COULDNT GET MINE OFF THE WALL
Great to hear I could help
where do you find the drywall screws？
Wall anchors drywall can be purchased at many stores.
Hi the screws for the bracket what are they called and also what and size drill bit did you use thanks
In description
Can anyone tell me what the triangle to used to connect to suspension rail is called?
Thanks for sharing, this video really helps!
Thanks for watching!
Is this sturdy enough to make it as tv bench? Im thinking of buying 3 or 4
I did not try. These cabinets are not very strong. I do not know if that's a good idea...
Finally got it together... pfff cause of this video. But has to use the hamer also.
Hello. Thanks for the video. For the EKET wall-mounting rail, I didn't understand the purpose of the small screws shown at 3:39. Could you explain it to me in a nutshell?
The screws are for adjusting the position when there are 2 or more cabinets next to each other. 3:47
I have to buy the hanging set separately... and it took a youtube video to figure that out 🤦🏻♀️silly me thinking there would just be simply holes in the back of the cube to attach it to the wall 🫠
Thank you for the video though, very helpful!
Glad I could help!
Great video. What size are the screws in the wall? Didn’t come with the order
No it doesn’t
Wish they said it on the box that the wall mounted rail doesn't come with the screws or rawl plugs. Wasted time on a trip to the DIY store.
Thanks for the video. Is there a way to avoid this sideways sliding of the cabinet. This play is about 20mm which is too much for me
Glue, double-sided tape, secure the back wall with an additional anchor?
I did another thing. I added an extra nail (or screw) on the way after the suspending rail. This reduced the play to a good extent. Thanks for your idea also.@@k-nemo
It assembles that easily if you are a wizard…. I hate hate hate this cabinet
Thanks for this video. I was wondering how to get that thing off the wall. 👍🏻
No problem 👍
I'm afraid I don't get the bit with the different screw heights at 3.42 - is that necessary..?
Only needed when you need to level.
@@k-nemo Thanks buddy :)
@@k-nemocan you shortly explain how these screws can make them even or uneven
At 3.42, i dont understand how far down i should skrew the skrews, which side is better?
This is regulation. Necessary when cabinets are hanging next to each other. When you have one, you don't have to move these screws.
is the wall bracket sold separately?
Yes. Separately.
What do you call the black thing to tighten up the back part in 1:26?
Clip? Each part has a number listed in the manual.
@@k-nemo accidently threw out the box and now would have to buy those black clips.
The building project is not easy as it is shown because the demo has two pegs board on each side but we got three pegs board on each side. Every time we tried d to build, one peg of the last board has troubles. would you please make a demo with three pegs board and show us how to do it?
Do you have to buy the wall mounting part separately? Mine did not come with them
Yes.
That’s some bs 😂 I was ready to mount until I realized this
I did not get screws from Ikea for this. Any suggestion which ones to use for wall mounting ? Thanks
Depends on the type of wall.
@@k-nemo thanks. How about the dry wall?
@@k-nemo what would you use for a limestone wall?
Just got one today, and it’s quite stiff to slide it in…
Same with mine.
Same
My Danish cousin gave me a couple of units and I lugged them back to New Zealand in my suitcase. Now I find out that I need a rail to hang them up? The closest Ikea is in Australia 😂
Unfortunately you need rails. I believe Ikea will send you if you order.
@@k-nemo Thank you 😀
And how do you faster the screw that makes sure the cabinet is fastened on the rail?? There is no hole in the backpanel… and you need to fasten it when the thing is on the wall. 4:26
Is pressed onto the rail 4:38
Ours didn’t come with the long screw. Did yours?
Fixings anchors are purchased separately.
What are those bolt called and what size are they?

I don't have those wall brackets to put them on the wall, I'm assuming they're sold separately? But I can't find them on the website... 😤
35cm: 003.400.47
70 cm: 803.400.48
Thank you! 👍🏼
Anyone know why the white stopper pieces wont fit? Thanks!
Did you try to push hard?
@@k-nemo Yes! I ended up getting in but mine seemed a lot harder than yours 😅
kołki dokupiłeś sam? u mnie w zestawie nie bylo. Jesteś w stanie mi jakoś doradzić odnośnie wielkości wiertła i kołków, jestem w tym zielony 🥶
Kołki dokupiłem. Takie jak na filmie, do płyt gipsowych mają na opakowaniu podany rozmiar wiertła jakie trzeba użyć.
nie dostałem kompletu podkładek do jednej Półki, wystarczą zwykle okrągłe?
a mi w ogóle nie może wejść ostatnia ścianka
Geazie, dovevo spostarle e non ricordando il fissaggio a muro non capivo cme fare.ora lo so ☺️
The fourth panel is very difficult to attached. I don’t know how it’s easy for him to do that
Gli stop al muro che hai usato sono da 6mm o da 8mm?
Questi erano tasselli per cartongesso da 8 mm.
This guy: take a piece, slide the other in, blabla
Me: not even with a hammer they do slide in (and yes, I'm starting from the number 1)
Same it took me quite a while, and a hammer too.
2:33 do these come with?
No.
The newest EKET has OSB like panels instead of the wood used in this video which makes it more fragile when assembling. 😢
Is the wall mount included?
No.
The metal bracket didn’t come with the eket shelf and there wasn’t even a number for the isle it was on where it was displayed.. so pissed
It is purchased separately.
The back is too big to attach the last side. My holes were drilled really sketchy so the sides were hard to do. Maybe I should do a real assembly video.
Same here, doesn’t just slide on like the video
1st box tried to put it together- was very wonky.. tben re did ladt 2 steps exactly as ykur video & better! Had to pound a bit on it!! Tbanks!!
Mine is hanging from the wall from one side ... How to fix
Ikea’s most frustrating item for sure. the sides are next to impossible to get together and the damn thin board blocks the last wall. so bad
wish i knew i had to buy a wall mounting bracket before purchasing the unit, its useless to me now
Produkcja " Made in . . . powieś i nie zdejmuj " !!!
Nie jest tak źle
Dont tell me I have to buy theses tools to mount it on the wall separately because they didn’t come within the package..
Unfortunately. Eket can also be placed on legs:
ua-cam.com/video/TUuknH9CI5o/v-deo.html
How do you avoid sliding horizontal? Is driving me nuts that is moving 🤦
Maybe use an extra screw?
@@k-nemo The cabinet moves. I think it's a design flaw as it is fixed only on the hanging rail.
How
1:00 No way, no way... I had to scratch the closing to make it work
There is a piece with a number 1 in it, if yours don't fit, check that! Order is important. Also, the quality is bad 😅
Good lord, I put the rails on upside down 🤦♂️ we took them down to move and I'm trying to put them back up and don't have the instructions anymore lol
Download one from Ikea site
The last peace wont go in, i dont get it 😩😩😭
yesss i did it haha. guess the pieces arent the same, i just changed what piece to begin with 🥵😄
Damn it I bought the wrong one 😂 for the floor
Suspension rail for the wall is sold separately.
Ohh so it’s the same one? Just need to buy the bracket and stuff?
Yes. It's best if you watch the manual.@@drunkenyeknom
Non tornerò a comprare il binario, ormai vado di tappi con il gancio verticale 🙂
Wtf how the plastic pieces snapped when i put it together 💀😭
Yeah no that wasn't so easy😅
Thank you for this video. It made me decide NOT to buy this shelf unit. You saved me alot of trouble.
same! LMAO
You are welcome!
Merci !
Merci beaucoup😀
Without a doubt the worst POS ever made. 45 mins of watching this guide and trying to assemble it, and it’s now scartered all over my livingroom floor.
BS! This does not go together as easily in this video. I’ve been trying for 2 hours to fit the last panel. Want a return ikea! The worst ikea product ever!
Fake video : the background is too big it's a 32.5cm square so it's IMPOSSIBLE to mount the 4th side without cuting 2 or 3 mm of the background.
If you have parts that are badly made you should complain to the shop.
Ja echt niet hoor
This is bollocks. I had to use a hammer to put mine together.
Crap! There is no way the final piece slots in that easily! In the end I have just assembled it without the inner piece. Totally unimpressed that in 2024 IKEA is getting away with a crappy self assembly. Shame on you.
The back doesn't fit into the gap? You have to bend it slightly.
Pay attention to the instructions. The side pieces look almost identical but one has a deeper groove so the “inner piece” / board can slide in deeper and not be in the way when attaching the last side. That deeper groove piece is the one he labeled “1” here and it must go first. It’s a small detail most of us missed from the instructions, and why we’re here lol, but it is there.
If it doesn't fit, you need to bend it with your finger to get it into the slot.
Kk reclame
🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬, más difícil, imposible , NO se ensambla fácilmente el pxto módulo cuadrado, o lo terminas dañándolo o simplemente no se monta . Hxjxs de pxta,
¿No entiendo qué es difícil?
this shit does not work
Dont buy this, it is near impossible to put in the last piece as it is far far worse quality in real life compared to what you see here…
I’ve been using IKEA products for too many years and this range is just terrible.
Avoid at all costs.
The design is terrible. It is insanely hard to assemble. Shame on your product designer ikea.
